Understanding Modular Wall Construction
The Origins of Modular Construction
The beginning of the modular wall sector dates back to the period following World War II, during which there was an urgent requirement for quick and affordable building methods due to a lack of housing and infrastructure. Modular construction, known for using pre-made parts, was a faster building alternative than the standard practices at the time.
Moving forward, the modular construction industry saw substantial growth during the 1960s and 1970s. This increase was due to a higher need for buildings that could easily change or expand within commercial environments without disrupting their services.
Modular Wall Construction Today
Modern-day modular wall construction is a progressive building method that involves the pre-fabrication of wall panels or sections, which are easily transported and assembled on-site. Unlike traditional construction, this innovative approach ensures a high level of flexibility, efficiency, and precision, as the modules are created in controlled factory conditions.
Contemporary modular systems support quick installation and adaptability, for significant time and cost savings, minimal site disruption, and reduced waste.
The Limitations of Traditional Construction Methods
Traditional construction has been the backbone of commercial property development for years, but it’s not without its drawbacks.
Cons of Temporary Walls in Traditional Construction
- Time Consuming: These projects often have extended timelines due to sequential stages of construction.
- High Costs: Labor, materials, unexpected delays, and waste removal contribute to a higher overall investment.
- Fixed Structures: Traditional temporary walls are essentially permanent, meaning they need to be taken apart and trashed after construction is completed.
Disruption: Construction noise, dust, and disturbance are inevitable, and affect nearby operations.
